  How Mike Cron Helped Turn Good All Blacks Into Greats For 15 Years

  Aug 18, 20261h 13mS1

  Mike ‘Crono’ Cron spent 15 years with the All Blacks — more than 200 tests, two World Cups, and a reputation as the best scrum coach in the game. In this conversation he breaks down how he actually does it: Why he shows a photograph of cyclists shoving cigarettes in each other's mouths to every team he works with. How he used the Royal New Zealand Ballet to transform the All Blacks lineout. The three “big rocks” of coaching: systems, skills, and decisions. We also get into why "what did you hear" is a safer question than "what did I say". Why a team that goes slack the moment you turn your back is a sales problem, not a character problem. And the line he uses when he knows his comment is going to hurt — it’s a master class on feedback.

  He Swam 1,367km Down New Zealand - 90 Days, No Wetsuit

  Aug 11, 20261h 33mS1

  90 minutes into a 1,367km swim down the length of New Zealand, Jono Ridler turned his head to breathe and saw a large shark a body length away. He got out of the water for 20 minutes, then got straight back in — and kept going for another 89 days. The kid who had to be bribed with candy to finish a swimming lesson ended up breaking the world record for the longest unassisted staged swim. In this conversation he breaks down the journey. Along the way: the panic attack 100 metres into his first open-water race. The Cook Strait crossing that ended with him pissing blood. The 33-hour Hauraki Gulf swim where he hallucinated a snowman on the support boat. From swimming for a reward, to swimming for an identity, to swimming for something that will outlast him. We also get into the voice that tells you to stop (and why it only ever arrives at the edge of what you can do), how to train the mental skills necessary for his feats of endurance, and what he's learned about uncertainty since walking away from a 13-year career with no idea what comes next.

  8,200m Up K2, He Walked Away Alone: Peter Hillary on Survival, Fear & Sir Edmund’s Advice

  Aug 4, 20261h 11mS1

  At 8,200 metres on K2, in deteriorating weather and near the summit, Peter Hillary made what he calls a “bravely independent” decision: he turned around and descended alone into the storm. The rest of the group stayed together and pushed for the top. It was one of the loneliest descents of his life — and it’s the reason he's here to tell the story. None of the others survived. In this conversation, we trace how a lifetime in the mountains, with a father like Sir Edmund Hillary, prepared him for that moment: a childhood where a family holiday meant Kathmandu at age seven, a teenage ascent of Mount Aspiring twice in three days followed by a humbling introduction to Aoraki/Mount Cook, and the 1979 avalanche on the west face of Ama Dablam that killed a member of his team and left him hanging on a near-severed rope with a compound fracture. We also talk why he rejects the framing that he grew up in his father's shadow — and how he thinks about it instead — and why whether he could live up to his father’s accomplishments was never the right question. Peter Hillary has dedicated his life to mountaineering, adventure, and the outdoors. He also continues his father’s contribution to the Nepalese people who have meant so much to the family. Peter is chair of the Himalayan Trust, founded by Sir Ed, which does extraordinary work providing health and education for remote communities in Nepal.

  How Wayne Smith Built the All Blacks, Crusaders & Black Ferns Into Winning Cultures

  Jul 28, 20261h 6mS1

  Sir Wayne Smith — aka “The Professor” — is one of the most decorated coaches in New Zealand rugby history. In this conversation he opens up the systems behind decades of winning. The season the All Blacks spat into vials so a scientist could map their hormones — and why every fix was cultural, not chemical. The Henry V video that rebuilt a last-placed Crusaders side. The honesty card players handed back when a teammate broke the standards — and the cards Smith found pushed under his hotel door on tour. Why he doesn't believe in team talks. Why he wore sunglasses to speak to one All Black before games. What the self-coached 1924 Invincibles still teach anyone leading a team a century later. And then there's the Black Ferns: the party bus that traumatised him until Kendra Cocksedge told him to stop asking about the music, the coin toss where his captain overruled him, and what coaching the women's game taught him about how different teams find their best. ▶ Want to learn these systems from the inside?

  How Dr Luke Sniewski Ended a 30-Year Porn Addiction

  Jul 21, 20261h 8mS1

  He found the cable-box switch that unlocked adult content when he was just five years old. For the next three decades, porn was Dr Luke Sniewski’s coping mechanism for loneliness, stress and fear - through a professional football career in Italy, a burnout that ended his training business, and relationships that all ended the same way. He spent nearly a decade trying to willpower his way out. It never worked - because the behaviour was never the problem. Dr Luke Sniewski's doctoral research at AUT studied meditation as an intervention for men with problematic pornography use - research that ended up revealing something he didn't expect about what actually helps people change. In this conversation, Luke explains why you can't quit a behaviour you refuse to understand, what meditation actually is, why the saviour instinct leads to burnout, and how to talk to your kids about the things you hope they never do - without judgment, and without driving it into secrecy. Connect with Luke's Somawise community: https://www.skool.com/somawise-tribe/about Jo Robertson's TEDx talk on young people and porn, referenced in this episode: https://tedxchristchurch.com/jo-robertson – Hunger & Heart is brought to you by the Crusaders Leadership Programme™.
